For chronic kidney disease (CKD), there is a lack of unique and powerful platform for patient engagement, research studies and public health advocacy work. The National kidney Foundation (NKF) launched the first nationwide registry for people at all stages and types of CKD, including people on dialysis and kidney transplant recipients, called the NKF Patient Network (NKFPatientNetwork.org). The NKF Patient Network is a non-interventional research study which means participants will not have to take medications or do any additional tests to participate. They are simply asked to share some personal and health information, and their experiences with their disease through a secure portal. The Network also collaborates with health systems to obtain additional electronic health records (EHR) data. This unique combination of data collected will address the gap of individualized educational resources and will enhance clinical research, clinical care, and health policy decisions to be centered on the patient. The NKF Patient Network is all online and can be accessed any time of day at NKFPatientNetwork.org. Participation is voluntary and free.
The overall study objective is to collect real-world data on the safety and effectiveness of ERC to gradually increase 25D to the level required by Stage 3 and 4 CKD patients. ERC (Rayaldee), a prolonged-release calcifediol (PRC) formulation, is an orally administered prohormone of active Vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D)) designed to increase serum total 25D safely and to a high enough magnitude to reliably reduce elevated PTH in patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (ND-CKD). Clinical studies show that ERC is an effective, well tolerated treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in ND-CKD patients with Vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency. ERC gradually raises serum 25D levels, resulting in physiologically regulated increases in serum 1,25D and sustained and progressive reductions in PTH levels, while avoiding clinically meaningful increases in serum phosphate and calcium. To date, experience with the use of ERC results exclusively from patients from the US and mainly from patients who have participated in clinical trials. It is therefore of major interest to observe the value of ERC in daily use outside of the controlled trial settings in the US as well as in Europe. (Protocol v.2.0,06Dec2023).
To capture safety when Forxige is administrated to CKD patients in the real world setting
This is an observational, non-interventional, single-arm multicenter study. The objectives of this study are to assess safety and effectiveness of Forxiga in a real world setting in patients who are prescribed with the study drug according to the newly approved indications in the Republic of Korea
The current trial is designed to evaluate how the results of KidneyIntelX test / platform impacts on the clinical management of type 2 diabetes patients identified as increased risk for rapid kidney function decline within 5-years.
We are doing this study to learn more about how semaglutide may help fight chronic kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes. We are doing this by looking into how semaglutide works in the kidneys. Participants will either get semaglutide or placebo (a 'dummy' medicine) - which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Semaglutide is a medicine doctors can prescribe in some countries for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Participants will get the study medicine in a pen. Participants will use the pen to inject the medicine into the skin once a week. The study will last for about 1 year. Participants will have 11 visits to the clinic, and 2 phone visits. Some of the visits could be in different locations. Study staff will take blood samples at most of these visits. At 9 visits, participants will be asked to bring a sample of their first morning urine. At 4 of the visits participants will have to bring urine that they have collected over the last 24 hours. The study includes magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of participants' kidneys which is a test that shows a detailed picture of organs and other parts inside the body. The scan will last for 30 minutes, and is free of radiation.
The investigators will conduct a pilot study to determine whether home-based exercise is an effective intervention to improve decreased physical function in kidney transplant candidates. The investigators will determine if home-based exercise improves frailty parameters and SPPB scores. The investigators will also determine if home-based exercise improves health-related quality of life (HRQOL), physical activity, and adverse clinical outcomes, including hospitalizations.
A higher prevalence of thyroid disease has been associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and subclinical hypothyroidism seems to be the most common dysfunction. The aim is to evaluate thyroid function and autoimmunity in patients with CKD stages 3, 4 and 5. Cross-sectional study to be carried out on patients with stages 3 and 4 in a Nephrology outpatient clinic. Thyroid function is evaluated by measuring thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine, free triiodothyronine and antithyroperoxidase antibodies (TPOAb) levels.
Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) have many complications associated with inflammation, oxidative stress and intestinal dysbiosis, which are closely related to the progression of kidney failure and cardiovascular disease. Sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate found in cruciferous vegetables (Family: Brassicaceae) is recognized as one of the most important activators of erythroid nuclear factor 2 related to factor 2 (Nrf2). However, clinical evidence to assess the effects of sulforaphane in patients with CKD is scarce, and there are no studies that have investigated its effects on the expression of genes and markers related to inflammation in these patients. Thus, the present project proposes a longitudinal study of the clinical trial type that aims to evaluate the effects of sulforaphane on transcription factors and inflammatory markers in patients with CKD.
